Aim: Slide-based cytometry (SBC) allows to "ask a cell a second time." We used this tool for detailed immunophenotyping of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs).

Methods: PBLs primarily stained for CD-markers and DNA were immobilized on a glass slide and analyzed by laser scanning cytometry. Then, iterative restaining was applied for a second and a third analysis. Based on the cells' fixed location, analyses were merged on a single-cell level.

Results: We analyzed six virtual immunostainings by "recycling" the PE-channel for four CD-markers.

Conclusion: Iterative restaining might prove to be a pivotal tool for n-color immunophenotyping exclusive to SBC concepts.

Background: Polychromatic analysis of biological specimens has become increasingly important because of the emerging new fields of high-content and high-throughput single cell analysis for systems biology and cytomics. Combining different technologies and staining methods, multicolor analysis can be pushed forward to measure anything stainable in a cell. We term this approach hyperchromatic cytometry and present different components suitable for achieving this task.
